When Jim Belushi<\/a> was playing Ken Kesey<\/a> \u2014 a literary giant gone to seed \u2014 in \u201cThe Chronology of Water<\/a>,\u201d he\u2019d hear Kristen Stewart<\/a> calling out from behind the camera with one consistent note.<\/p>\n

\u201cDrunker<\/a>!\u201d she\u2019d yell.<\/p>\n

And Belushi, who is nothing short of a revelation in Stewart<\/a>\u2019s feature directing debut, would adjust his register, finding the sadness drowning in a sea of booze and revealing the struggling family man hiding behind the prankster persona.<\/p>\n

\u201cI studied Ken Kesey for three months,\u201d Belushi says. \u201cBut I don\u2019t do imitations. I can\u2019t. My brother John was brilliant at it. I just try to get the essence.\u201d<\/p>\n

That essence, it turns out, is grief.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
